Depression Symptoms

Hi there,

I don't often turn to the gluten free forum- but it's been a friend in the past! So here goes...

On Saturday I had a friend visit from out of town. We went to a great sushi restaurant and she was so excited to see the tasting menu that we HAD to try it. I skipped the miso soup starter- and had my own gluten-free soy sauce with me- but I know there must have been some fish marinated in soy sauce at some point along the line...

It is now Tuesday night and I have never felt so depressed. My guts are gurgling and I can barely lift my arms. My usual solution is to GET UP and GET OUT to shake off my symptoms- but I can't even do that...

Does anyone else have reactions this late- and so depressing.? I really just can't motivate myself in any way- and I don't want to believe that it's ME; I want to believe that it's the disease.

Has anyone else felt like this...???

Thank you so much for being there.

My depression usually shows up a little bit sooner and it shows up hard. In my case the actual 'life is not worth living' part lifts within a day or so but the exhaustion and other stuff last much longer. Your not alone in this reaction. It amazes me sometimes just how much of a neurotoxin gluten can be. I hope you feel better soon.

The "guts gurgling", "can barely lift my arms" and depression are all symptoms I always got from being glutened. I think it's a safe bet that you were glutened somehow. I'd heard that the longer you're off gluten, the heavier the reaction is if you consume it again, because your body is still building antibodies against it. It's an autoimmune disorder after all.

Just hold out hope for that experimental vaccine that's being worked on in Australia! I believe that we WILL see it released in our lifetime (it's in Phase 1 testing already).

Btw, I have heard that eating digestive enzymes ahead of time helps your body process accidental gluten better, and can prevent symptoms. Just something to keep in mind if you're ever not sure whether to try a new food or eat at a restaurant. Just be aware that supposedly, they may have side effects if your gut hasn't fully healed yet when you try taking them.

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
